Be itknown that 1, WILLIAM J OHN PAYNE, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of the city of London, England, have'invented. certain new and useful Improvements in. Apparatus for \Vith draWing'Eitervescing' or GaseonsiLiquors from (lowed-Receptacles, (for whichqlx have ob.- tainedxa- Britishpatent, No; 9,289, June 30,

w 1887;) and I do hereby decla'ie vthat the fol-,

lowing is a full, clear, and exact description i,

thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, which ,Iorin a part of this 1 specification. I5 j My invent-ion relates *"of champagnes or other eifervescing, aerated, or gaseous liquids or heveragesfrom the bottles in which they are contained Without removing the corks andwithout permitting the entrance of air, and thus the-said contents of the bottles are maintained in-the desired condition and-arc prevented from becoming flat or dead.

2 5 The apparatus, by which I attain the above objects is illustrated in the accompanying sheet of drawings, in. which' Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of an apparatus suitable for a refreshment-bar with a bottle in position and ready for use; Fig. 2, front elevation of same, part in section and with bottle removed; Fig. 3, enlarged vertical section of part of same apparatus.

in carryingout my invent-ion I make a suit- 3 5 ahle frame to hold the bottle in position fixed upon a base-plate, as hereinafter more'clearly I and particularly described.

I construct a tapered tube, A, terminating: at its smaller end in an enlarged-solid and- 4o pointed head, A,the largest part of the 'head o like fastenings until the head A'and the v to; eepp r tu g or permitting-rand accom 'ilishing-the withdrawal openings or :p'orts A are 'clearof the col-hand project throng'h" its face into the liquid, the,

se tiefal parts being so, proportioned that-when the head has "passed through the cork the I 'fix thebeforer cscribedgtube I provided with aspout, H, by which" the con-1 tents of the bottleare discharged. The coin-" I 'inunication between thespontand the-tub'iilar spike A maybe opened or .c1osed by means which canbeconvenientIy operated by means of a lever, ,G, and intermediate connection, G, 'which passes throng-It an opening in the side of the col imn;

tion of a spring, K,the topjace of the valve being preferably-pressed against alfacing of cork or other elastic material, ,I. This pan rangement is clearly s'eenin Fig, 3,whi 1 I rod F and leaving a freepassage for'the 0011- p tents of the bottle to passthrongh the'ports e A in to the tubular column E-andthrough the spout H into a wine-glass or other receptacle. I Upon the base plate Q and at the back @1 at the side of the first-iiientioned column, E, I erect another larger hollowcolnm'n, B, in which is fitted a Vertically-sliding rod, C, to] the 'lient top of which is atta'ched'a self-ad.- j listing cap or block, 0, shaped to, receive'and' sup ort in position the bottom ends 10f the bott e. l

Vhen the tube A has passed through the cork up to the shoulder, as represented in Figs. 1 and 3, the holes A are clear from the end of the cork and open to the liquid. The lever G may now be pressed down, compressing the spring K and drawing down the valve 1, thus opening a'free I passage through the spout to the interior of the bottle, through which the contents of the bottle will be forced by the action or pressure of the gas. 0n releasing the lever G the spring K closes the valve, stops the flow of the liquid, and prevents the entrance of air. When the bottle is empty, the block (J is lifted ofi? the bottle and the bottle drawn off the tube A by hand; but I preferably use the hcrcinafter-described apparatus, as shown in Fig. 2.

Two tubes or columns, N, are fixed one on each side of the column E, each having a sliderod, N, 'connected with each other at their top ends by a plate, 0, having a center hole, through which the tapered tube A passes. These rods are acted upon by the springs P, which force the said rods and plate to the highest position when relieved 'from the more powerful pressure of the spring D, and will thus raisethe bottle, and consequently draw it off the taper tube A.

I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the it will be evident that the details and particular arrangement of the apparatusdescribed and shown may be considerably varied or modified without departing from the spirit of the in ventionas, for example, instead of one pinion C and L, a direct application of power.

of a screwor other equivalent means.

Vhat- I wish to secure by means of Letters Patent of the United States is- 1. The ported piercing-spike A and a valvular outlet therefor, combined with thehollow column B, the vertically-sliding rod in said 1 column, the block 0 on said rod, the spiral spring D, acting on the rod to depress it, and the gearing for controlling the movement of the rod, all constructed and arranged sub- 5 stautially as described.

2. In apparatus for permitting the discharge of gaseous liquids from bottles, the tapered cork-piercing tube A, having ports A, the column E, having a chamber into which the tube opens, an outlet-spout, H, for said cham- 1 her, the valve J, arranged in said chamber bemay be given to the bottle, such as by means ncath the tube to open and close it, and suitable means for raising and lowering said valve, incombination with a vertically-sliding rod provided with a'cap to engage the bottom of the bottle, a column to support the said rod, and suitable means-such as a spring-t0 draw down the rod and force the cork-piercing tube through the cork, substantially as described. I 1

i l l Inapparatus for the purpose herein specified, the combination, with a tapered tube A, having an enlarged. point, A, and entranceports A and a support for the tube, of the plate 0, and

' columns N, with the rods and springs P, substantially described and i shown.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have affixed hereto my signature in presence of two witnesses.
